Working Hours: Set Operating Schedules for Your Workspace
Working Hours allows you to define your workspace's operational schedule, ensuring that bookings can only be made during times when your facility is actually open and staffed. This feature automatically validates booking requests against your configured hours, preventing impossible pickup and return times.
Control when bookings can be made with systematic scheduling boundaries
Why Working Hours Matters

The Problem It Solves
Without Working Hours, users could book equipment for any time - including 2 AM pickups when your facility opens at 9 AM, weekend requests for weekday-only operations, or after-hours returns when no staff is available.
Systematic Scheduling Control
Working Hours provides automatic validation that respects your actual operational capacity, reducing confusion and eliminating impossible booking scenarios.
Setting Up Working Hours
Step 1: Enable Working Hours
- Navigate to Settings in your workspace
- Select Working Hours from the sidebar
- Toggle "Enable working hours" to activate the feature
- Working hours will now be enforced for your workspace

Step 2: Configure Weekly Schedule
- Set your operational hours for each day of the week
- Use the dropdown menus to select:
- Start time (e.g., 9:00 AM)
- End time (e.g., 5:00 PM)
- Toggle individual days on/off as needed
- Days left disabled are treated as non-operational (no bookings allowed)
Step 3: Save Your Schedule
- Review your weekly schedule configuration
- Click "Save Schedule" to apply the settings
- Working hours are now active and will validate all new booking requests
Managing Date Overrides
When You Need Overrides
Date overrides allow you to modify your standard schedule for specific dates:
- Holiday closures (Christmas, New Year's, etc.)
- Maintenance days (equipment servicing, facility upgrades)
- Extended hours (special events, extended operations)
- Training days (staff development, system maintenance)
Creating Date Overrides
- In the Working Hours settings, locate "Date overrides"
- Click "Add override" to create a new exception
- Configure the override:
- Date: Select the specific date for the override
- Status: Choose "Open" (with custom hours) or "Closed" (no bookings)
- Operating Hours: Set custom start/end times if status is "Open"
- Reason: Add a description (e.g., "Holiday Closure", "Staff Training")
- Click "Create Override" to save

Managing Existing Overrides
- View all configured overrides in the "Upcoming Schedule Changes" section
- Edit or delete overrides by clicking on them in the list
